Welcome to the forum. Obviously you found a poor time to find anyone sober. The best test to finding what suits you is to try various locations in accordance with your needs and desires. To provide some locations might have already occurred since you have been here in the past. But here is a shot: 1. the south as you have probably learned is too congested with traffic, although Sanur has its appeal. 2. the north coast can be draught smitten although due to that fact cheap land is available. 3. the Ubud area has had appeal in the past, but currently so over ridden with tourists is possibly more expensive for a permanent stay. 4.the east coast is where Markit lives.......enough said. (Just a shot, due to his persistent preference) 5.the west coast area is developing and property is beginning to rise in price. The rub is the long trek southward for facilities. A toll road has been under construction, and now in the midst of gaining a new contractor. So the problems of the past are in the midst of being repaired. The sage advice has always been to come here and try different areas for several months each and learn what appeals in accordance to your needs and wants.

Best thing is to write down your priorities... Do you want - be near the beach or not - have western stocked supermarket nearby ? (Not speaking about Indomart, / Alfamart who have zero proper foodstuff) - be close to the airport - be close to a 1st class hospital - have western restaurants nearby - have a western community around - do you like the crowds or not ? Once that list established, work by elimination... If you like western restaurants and food available, forget [USER=1532]@Markit[/USER] country, if you like it quiete forget Seminyak, if you ar 65 old forget Cangu, if you are not a yoga-meditation-cultural B.S addict forget Ubud, etc... Oh, and one more.thing, don't come to Sanur, it's shiite .....

If you want to persuade this person to never live in Bali, job well done! Anything positive about living here?
